"Fact is, some kids do reject food for cultural reasons, if not racist ones."
I have no doubt about that.
However, the article is talking about TODDLERS.
Unless the British definition of toddler has been expanded to include kids up to 10 years old, we're talking about kids roughly what, 12 to 36 months?
I find it virtually impossible to believe for a frigging moment that a child that young can be considered to be racist simply because they find a new food to be unpalatable for some reason.
Then we have this gem of a pile of bullcrap...
"The guide, titled Young Children and Racial Justice, warns adults that babies must also be included in the effort to eliminate racism because they have the ability to "recognize different people in their lives."
Gee, children can recognize different people in their lives?
Of course they can! They recognize Mom, who looks and smells a LOT different than Dad, and both of them look and smell a LOT different from the stranger down the street, and not all kids react to strangers in positive ways.
Is a negative reaction to a stranger an immediat indication that the parents have a raging white power racist Final Solution advocate on their hands, one who will be responsible for millions of deaths in a spasm of ethnic cleansing 30 years down the road? Apparently this "think tank" believes so.
But, what if Timmy the little white Toddler reacts negatively to a white stranger? (substitute any race/color you want, as long as they're the same)
Just where are we then?
Are we going to see a new report come popping out of this group saying "Parents need to guard against psychocentric recursive racism, in which young children become self hating and reject all aspects of their own culture and race."
Incredible.
